Füssen – wikitravel gas x strips side effects

Füssen im Allgäu [7] is an enchanting town in Bavaria, Germany known for the Hohes Schloss and its Basilica and former Benedictine monastery of St Mang. The world famous Neuschwanstein Castle [8] is situated a few kilometres to the east. Some visitors come to tour the castles and leave immediately afterwards leaving the beautiful little town unexplored. This is a great pity as there is much to see in Füssen and the surrounding area if you know what you are looking for! There are magnificant lakes with beautiful views and the "Kalvarienberg" which has the "Stations of the Cross" on it.

There are many connections between Füssen and Munich. Direct trains leave about every two hours. Other options require changing trains along the way. The cheapest ticket for this trip (especially if you are travelling with others and if you are going to return on the same day) is called "Bayern-Ticket" which is 23€ with every additional person up to a maximum of five only 5€. It is valid in all RE, RB and ALX trains on this route, but not in the IC/EC/ICEs. Be aware that on weekdays this ticket is only valid after 9 am (this restriction does not apply on weekends).

Füssen is small enough that a car is not really needed. There is a bus to the castles and the trains to Munich and Augsburg and the old town is easy enough to access by foot. You can walk to Neuschwanstein and Hochschwangau castles via some marked roads; travel times posted on the signboards are comfortable over-estimates.

• Laura´s Schiffwirtschaft, Schwangauer Str. 1, 87629 Füssen, Germany, ☎ +49 8362 9243370. 13:00 – 01:00. Great Little Jazz Bar (Laura´s Schiffwirtschaft) – From the center of the old town, go downhill till you hit the Lechhalde, the street that curves around the big church/monastery complex. Follow the Lechhalde across the bridge with streetlamps on it, and take a hard left at the far end. Inside the building right there on the corner is this funky place. Decorated in a gory punk skater style on the inside, they serve a wide range of tasty paninis (a tad expensive, 7 to 8 euro for a sandwich, but good) and German draft beers. Menu chalked on the wall. Make your way through the inside and get a seat in the room that overhangs the Lech River. Order a pint, watch the lights on the bridge play on the water at night, listen to the jazz fusion on the stereo and unwind. Service a little unreliable – you have to track someone down if you want a refill or a sandwich. One of the best spots in Fussen. edit

• Youth Hostel (Jugendherberge) The youth hostel is located behind the train station and is roughly a ten-minute walk. Most of the staff are not locals, but Germans from other parts of the country and want to complete their civil service in the area of the Alps, so they can be active in alpine sports. [14]

• Fussen is at the end of the Romantic Road (Romantische Strasse) which runs 350 km north along the west border of Germany to Wurzburg. This is a lot of fun. I’ve done the bottom 70 km into Fussen in a rental car and winding along a little two-lane through the fields and villages of Bavaria is an experience, with the Alps looming on the horizon. They say the northern sections are even more beautiful.
